Witcher 3 next gen trailer and details (FREE UPDATE)

[EagleOfWar]

The combat in witcher 3 isn’t that bad. No it’s not ER level but it seems like people just say that it’s bad because they aren’t fans of the game. I’m not fan of long drawn out cutscenes but W3 was one of the few that I got into. All the crafting and consumable options really give the game much depth also.

Regardless of whether you like it personally there’s a reason it’ll always be in the debate for a top rated game. I just hope they can get close to that for 4 and not listen to the people who said it was too long. Why would you want to spend $60-$70 for less when you can have more?

Combat isn't bad, just the rest of the game is so fuarking good, the combat got left behind a bit

I've played games with far worse combat than The Witcher 3. And even IF it was as bad as some make it out to be - I'd still play it because the game overall is just that fking good.

That no map option is a game changer. Hate minimaps because I always stare at it.

The Witcher 3 would be GOD tier if it had Ghost of Tsushima combat. Has anything come close?

Looks like a 3rd playthrough is coming to my life soon.

The combat doesn't bother me but once you start min-maxing the gear with crit damage and crit chance (I rolled a lot of feline school gear), the spin to win attack will basically just be the trick to winning most fights. You just helicopter through mobs.

The highlight of these games isn't that they have the worst combat. There are tens of thousands of games that are worse. The highlight is that two games are very special as they are always in discussion/contention for the game of the generation.

This statement alone makes sense to me. I don't get anyone defending the combat though, forgot who I was originally replying to.

Couldnt resist ... started a new game and playing it on the easiest setting so I can do everything in white orchard and fuk off. After that I'll bump up the difficulty and play it properly.


Wont be an issue because the new upgrade is a patch and will save over the base game ... so cant wait to how big of a difference in how the game looks pre and post upgrade.


That said, on PC this game still looks pretty good, everything bumped up to ultra, 4k60fps ... it's still quite cartoony and less impressive compared to current open world games, but it still holds up very well .... On PS4 the game looked like ass lol.

I had uninstalled it because I was done playing it. I assumed it would be an entirely new game. So I need to have the original game installed and it will just be a big patch update?

Just a big patch it seems. It wont be different versions or anything, it'll replace the current patch.

Even though I have over 700 hours in Witcher 3 I’m down for another playthrough. Whoever said it’s all cutscenes and the rest is tacked on is a dip****.

I would argue the side stories/quests are better than the main story. I would get sidetracked for hours doing side quests and exploring.

Hell even just going around the world finding npc’s to play Gwent with could eat a couple hours a night.

All I remember about combat is it's incredibly easy to just button mash your way through the whole game. No skill needed. Potions and gwent are boring and poorly implemented. Also totally unnecessary. You can ignore 75 percent of the game and just run from cutscene to cutscene. Might as well just watch the story on youtube as the gameplay itself is weak sauce and mostly boring.
